Which is the best way to Camerons corner from
Sydney? As in road conditions & time travel & sights to be seen on route?
Cheers
Jackablue
P.s.Would you still go the same way if after the Corner down Strzelecki to
Flinders Ranges?

Jackablue,
This route worked for us:
Nyngan (O/N)
Cobar - Museum
White Cliffs (2 Nights)- Jocks Place, Town Tour
Milparinka (
Depot Glen, Mt Poole)
Tibooburra (O/N)
Corner
Innamincka (3 nights,
Bourke and Wills Sites, Cooper)
Arkaroola via
Moolawatana
Roads:
Basically all sealed to
White CliffsWhite Cliffs over to Silver City Highway is pretty good, better than you expect based on lines on the map.
Tiboo to Corner is slower going owing to the dunes and great desert scenery.
Old Strez up from Merty Merty is not maintained and mainly detours around wash outs and low areas, great scenery tough in amongst the dunes but slower going.
Strez is 100K stuff most of the way but can be rocky and corrogated at Inna. end.
Moolawatana shortcut had quite a few washouts when we went over it but otherwise not to bad.
We had a petrol Jack at the time towing a small trailer (14-15l/100k) and after filling at Inna., put a jerry in as a precaution about 50K from Arkaroola. Probably could have made it but would have been bone dry.
Hope this helps...All aboard!
